If you have words to offer
you will have enough reasons
to speak about it in your verse.
Hard time is the best opportunity
to learn about the intricacies of life.
If you have passed through it
you must have learned many things
during your journey.
The lessons you learned
may be of tremendous help to others,
so share it through your writings.
Life is a learning process and
an excellent place to discover truth.
Set your own goal to reach,
talk about it to your audience.
It is not important to be popular,
even if one person is benefited
in your observation or finding of truth
that much is vital, rest all is hue and cry
and nothing but temporary fillip.

What I like and admire about this piece is that it is not all fluff and roses; but an honest, caring piece. It tells it like it is but explains why the bad times are important and how we can help others with our own experiences. Great job.

I myself find this write greatly inspirational...so, thank you for sharing it. I agree with the previous commenter; this gives sensible encouragement to the 'audience' and is so gentle in its 'voice'...Well done, Poet. Peace and best wishes in the contest. Rhonda
